1 Geography of Electricity Generation In the United States : Fuels and Prices Brooks Martner Lafayette, Colorado Produced in association with PHYS Principles and Varieties of Solar Energy Department of Physics and Astronomy Professor Randy Ellingson University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio Spring
2 Introduction. The United States covers a huge geographic area and is, accordingly, endowed with a diverse variety of rich energy resources that are used for generating electricity. The degree to which each fuel is used varies from region to region. This report examines how much different fuels are utilized by each of the fifty states to produce electricity. It also takes a brief look at how the price of residential electricity varies from state to state, and how the price in some circumstances is associated with proximity to the source region of the dominant fuel. The categories of fuels used to generate electricity include coal, natural gas, other gases, nuclear, conventional hydroelectric, pumped-storage hydro, wind, petroleum, wood, other biomass, geothermal, solar, and other. Some of these fuels, such as natural gas, are also extensively used for heating buildings, but only their use for generating electricity is examined here. This report is based entirely on data provided on-line by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the U.S. Department of Energy, which requires, collects, and compiles reporting data from electricity producers across the nation. All sites with installed capacities of at least 1 MW are reported. Data used here from 2011 are the latest available from EIA, which have been fully quality-checked. EIA has similar data for earlier years dating back to 1990, from which historical trends can be tracked. In this report all the data are from the EIA category listed as Total Electric Power Industry, although other categories and sub-categories are also available. Table 1, shown below (and in the Excel file attached to this report), contains the 2011 data for electrical generation in MWh and in percent of a state s total generation, derived from each of the thirteen fuels. Each state s average retail price for residential electricity in cents per kwh is also shown at the far right side of the table. Simple maps and reduced data tables derived from the gigantic EIA data files reveal patterns of fuel use and electricity prices. Most of these patterns are unsurprising, but some are puzzling. It makes sense, for example, that states near the coal-mining area of Appalachia produce a very large fraction of their total electric production (96% in the case of West Virginia) by burning coal. Similarly, in the Pacific Northwest, hydroelectric power is dominant. For example, 79% of Washington s electricity is generated by huge hydroelectric plants in dams along the Columbia and other rivers, and the state enjoys some of the cheapest electric rates in the nation. But one may ask why Hawaii, which has good wind and solar resources, still relies on burning petroleum (which must be shipped into the islands) to produce 74% of its electricity. That s a vastly higher reliance on petroleum than any other state, and may explain why the price of electricity in Hawaii is the highest in the country at approximately triple the national average. And how about South Dakota? It may be the best-kept secret in the nation. South Dakota derives 55% of its electricity from hydro and 22% from wind, both of which are renewable. Thus, it just might be the greenest electricity state in the union. 2
3 The landscape is changing rapidly today for the nation s electricity generation. Next year, updated maps might be noticeably different from those included here for The dominance of coal as a fuel is decreasing while wind, natural gas, and solar (although solar is still very minor) are rising rapidly. Many energy experts regard natural gas as the bridge fuel that will allow the United States to evolve from electricity dominated today by coal to an electricity scene dominated in the future by renewable fuels. The ascent of natural gas in the fuels picture is the result of greatly expanded reserves because of recent full-blast implementation of advanced drilling technologies, such as hydraulic fracturing (Yergin 2012). The rise rate for non-hydro renewable fuels will depend on how rapidly the costs of those technologies continue to fall. It should be obvious that calling this brief document a Report is overstating matters. More accurately, it should be called Notes or Observations. However, a considerable amount of data analysis went into the document, and these notes and observations might form the nucleus for a future in-depth report by the author or one of its readers. Lastly, this report s author, Brooks Martner, served as a remote teleconference guest lecturer in the Principles and Varieties of Solar Energy course noted on the cover page; though Martner was not formally a student in the course, he followed the lectures and reading assignments with interest.

4 Data Tables. Table 1. Primary data Electric generation by states and fuels also price. (Use reader view magnification of about 300% to read the table). The Excel spreadsheet file version of this table is an electronic attachment available with this report with the name: fuels_2011_allstates.xlsx. The U. S. Energy Information Administration of the Department of Energy is a tremendous and vast resource for detailed information on the nation s evolving energy production and usage. It has thousands of data files and reports available on-line in a labyrinthine web site. Table 1 is a greatly reduced file constructed from the following two immensely larger EIA data files: Net Generation by State by Type of Producer by Energy Source (EIA-906, EIA-920, and EIA-923) and Average Price by State by Provider (EIA-861). Both are available on-line from the EIA in Excel spreadsheet files at: 4
5 Maps and Discussion. Note: Fuel utilization maps are produced such that states relying most heavily on a specific fuel are shaded pink, and those relying least on that fuel are shaded blue. The first U.S. map on the following page shows: Retail residential price of electricity by state. Subsequent pages show U.S. maps of the percentage of electric production in each state generated from these fuels: Coal Natural Gas Nuclear Hydroelectric Wind Petroleum Wood Biomass Geothermal Solar No maps are shown for: Other Gases Pumped Storage Other 5

Those states that rely most heavily on coal are shaded pink; those that rely least on coal are shaded blue. Data are for the Total Electric Power Industry. The map was constructed from data compiled by the Energy Information Administration (EIA-906, EIA-920, and EIA-923). Coal includes anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, lignite, waste coal, and synthetic coal. 8
9 Notes on Coal: COAL By Percent By MWh top five: % top five: MWh WV TX 157,896,535 KY OH 105,336,957 WY IN 104,152,598 IN PA 100,603,082 MO KY 91,656,030 bottom five: CA 0.99 CT 525,807 ID 0.50 ID 83,412 ME 0.35 ME 55,166 RI - RI - VT - VT - 1) Coal is the dominant fuel in most states located near major coal-mining regions, such as Appalachia and Wyoming. Proximity to the mines makes the cost of transporting coal by rail less expensive, and therefore makes its use more attractive. 2) For states far from the coal-mine regions the higher cost of transporting coal by rail to the local generating plants reduces those states reliance on coal as they opt to use other, cheaper fuels. 3) It s surprising how little California depends on coal (1%). However, California s total electric production is so immense, that, in terms of megawatt-hours, California s 1% is greater than Delaware s 22% dependence on coal. 4) Texas produces the greatest number of megawatt-hours from coal, but coal constitutes only 36% of its total electric production. 5) The small states of Rhode Island and Vermont have avoided using coal entirely. 6) The nation s dependence on coal for generating electricity declined from 49% in 2006 to 42% in

Nationally, from 2006 to 2011 it increased by a factor of almost 5, in terms of megawatt-hours produced, and rose from 0.6% to 2.9% of the nation s total electricity generation. In some states the rise has been even more dramatic. As of 2011, wind is the fastest-growing renewable technology in terms of the increase in annual MWh of production. 17

Those states that rely most heavily on petroleum are shaded pink; those that rely least on petroleum are shaded blue. Data are for the Total Electric Power Industry. The map was constructed from data compiled by the Energy Information Administration (EIA-906, EIA-920, and EIA-923). Petroleum includes distillate fuel oil (all diesel and No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 fuel oils), residual fuel oil (No. 5 and No. 6 fuel oils and bunker C fuel oil), jet fuel, kerosene, petroleum coke, and waste oil. 18

22 Figure 8. Map of the percent of each state s total electric power generation derived from using other biomass as the fuel source. Those states that rely most heavily on biomass are shaded pink; those that rely least on biomass are shaded blue. Data are for the Total Electric Power Industry. The map was constructed from data compiled by the Energy Information Administration (EIA-906, EIA-920, and EIA-923). Other Biomass includes biogenic municipal solid waste, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural byproducts, other biomass solids, other biomass liquids, and other biomass gases (including digester gases and methane). It does not include wood. 22

26 Figure 11. Map of the percent of each state s total electric power generation derived from using solar energy as the fuel source. Those states that rely more heavily on solar are shaded pink. Data are for the Total Electric Power Industry. The map was constructed from data compiled by the Energy Information Administration (EIA-906, EIA-920, and EIA-923). Solar thermal and solar photovoltaic farms of 1-MW or more installed capacity are included here. However, distributed solar sites, such as rooftop, grid-tied PV arrays, (which probably generate more electricity than solar farms) are not included because of reporting challenges. 26
27 Notes on Solar: SOLAR By Percent By MWh top five: % top five: MWh NV 0.91 CA 888,829 CA 0.44 NV 291,225 NM 0.33 NM 127,802 CO 0.20 FL 125,726 DE 0.13 CO 104,636 bottom five: many - many - 1) Solar thermal and solar photovoltaic are included. However, unlike any other fuel in the EIA report data files (EIA-906, EIA-920, EIA-923) the majority of the total (actual) electric generation is from small, distributed sites, such as rooftop photovoltaic arrays. Since the EIA files only include generating sites with greater than 1 MW of capacity, and most distributed solar sites are less than 10 kw, data from the distributed solar sites are not included here. Thus, the overall contribution of solar, although very small, is underestimated in this map and data. 2) An EIA study estimates that the thousands of small distributed solar sites produced about 2.5 times more electricity than the few large solar farms in 2012, as described at: As a very rough estimate, using the 2.5x factor, the complete-solar contribution nationally in 2011 may have been approximately 0.11%, rather than 0.04%. But from 1MW+ solar farms alone: 3) States that utilize solar energy for electric generation to the greatest degree are located in the southwest part of the country where the solar insolation resource is also greatest. 4) Nevada has the largest utilization of solar in terms of percentage of total. 5) California produces far more electricity from solar than any other state. 6) Although still a tiny contributor to the nation s electricity, solar grew from about 0.01% in 2006 to 0.04% in If distributed solar (rooftop) sites are included, the 2011 number is estimated at ~0.11%. 27
